Features & Capabilities

Life's Journal automatically and privately records every place you visit and every journey you take — no manual check-ins, no tapping, no effort. Just live your life and let the app build a beautiful, searchable archive of everywhere you've been. An app that only gets better, with even richer data, the longer you use it!

TIMELINE See your day unfold in a rich, visual timeline. Every visit is logged with the place name, duration, and how you got there — whether walking, driving, cycling, or flying. Add notes, attach photos, and mark your favorites.

SMART PLACES Your visits aren't just GPS coordinates. Life's Journal recognizes actual place names like "Starbucks" or "Central Park" instead of street addresses. Every location becomes a place in your personal database with visit history, categories, notes, and photos.

HAVE I BEEN HERE BEFORE? Ever walk into a restaurant and think "I've definitely been here before… but when? And who was I with?" Life's Journal knows. Ask Siri "Have I been here before with Life's Journal?" or press the button in the app and instantly get the answer — how many times you've visited, when you were last there, and how you got there. No more racking your brain. Your journal remembers what you forgot.

STATS & ANALYTICS Discover patterns in how you move through the world. See your visits, distance traveled, time spent, and transport modes broken down by day, week, month, or any custom date range.

COVERAGE EXPLORER Visualize your geographic footprint on interactive maps. Track which countries, US states, and counties you've visited. With Street Coverage (beta), see every road you've traveled in your favorite cities, or try to visit every street in your hometown.

MEMORY LANE Life's Journal surfaces meaningful memories automatically — visit anniversaries, milestones like your 50th trip to a favorite spot, places you haven't been in a while, and travel highlights. The longer you use it, the richer your memories become. Tap the memory banner and relive the day!

HEALTH INTEGRATION Connect with Apple Health to see steps, distance, calories, heart rate, and workouts correlated with your visits. Understand how your movement patterns connect to your wellbeing.

PHOTOS The app automatically detects photos taken during your visits and suggests attaching them. Build a visual record of your life tied to the places you've been.

SIRI & SHORTCUTS Ask Siri "Have I been here before?" to instantly check your visit history at any location.

MORE FEATURES • Home screen and lock screen widgets • Apple Watch companion app • Search and filter across all visits by name, category, date, or notes • Import history from GPX, CSV, and JSON files • Export your complete journal as a backup • Customizable notifications for daily recaps, milestones, and weekly digests • All data stored privately on your device

Life's Journal is free to use with core tracking, timeline, places, and basic stats. Upgrade to Premium for Health Dashboard, Memory Lane, full Coverage Explorer, Street Coverage, advanced search, and more.

User Reviews

I downloaded this mostly as a novelty, thought it was a neat idea but figured I’d forget about it within a week. I’d been using an app for years that shut down, then I switched phones and lost most of that data, so when I saw LifesJournal had an import option I figured why not try to import the old backups. Fast forward and I opened it on a whim while waiting for a friend. Ended up sitting there for twenty minutes just scrolling. I kept tapping places I didn’t even remember going. A random parking lot turned out to be near a restaurant I used to go to all the time. A neighborhood I’d “just passed through” apparently three separate times over the summer trying to meet this girl :-). It’s like finding a journal you didn’t know you were writing. I don't remember setting anything up, but the timeline was full of my recent visits too. It just quietly builds this record of your life and waits for you to go looking, super neat. Genuinely one of those apps I’d be annoyed to lose. Now I wander my neighborhood just to see if the app knows where I went LOL.
